Answer:

y = -x -2

Explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at y = -2, so that is the y-intercept.

The slope is the ratio of "rise" to "run." The points on the graph show a "rise" of -3 for a "run" of 3.

m = rise/run = -3/3 = -1

Then the slope-intercept equation is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b

y = -x -2 . . . . . . . using m=-1, b=-2
